The Radial-Azimut ha1 Inst ability of an Isothermal Magnetized Accretion Disk

The radial-azimuthal instability of an isothermal magnetized accretion disk is examined in this paper. We find that the azimuthal perturbation enhances the instability of the magneto-acoustic and non-axisymmetric modes. The magnetic field induces and enhances the instability of magneto-acoustic modes, but stabilizes the non-axisymmetric modes in the outer disk. The viscous modes are always stable. The instability of magneto-acoustic modes are dominant in this disk.     

The Radial-Azimuthal Instability of a Radiation-Pressure-Dominated Accretion Disk with Advection

A radial-azimuthal instability analysis of a radiation-pressure-dominated accretion disk with advection is presented. We find that the including of a very little advection has significant effect on two acoustic modes, which are no longer complex conjugates of each other. With the increase of azimuthal perturbations, the thermal mode becomes more unstable and the viscous mode more stable, but there has no effect on acoustic mode. For geometrically slim and advection-dominated disks, the azimuthal perturbation and increasing of advection do not affect the stability of all the modes.     

Axisymmetric Waves in Isothermal Accretion Discs with Vertical Self-Gravity

We extend the research of axisymmetric waves in accretion discs with three-dimensional structure to the case that vertical self-gravity of the discs is included. We derive and analyze the dispersion relation and solve the eigenfunctions numerically. The following results have been reached: vertical self-gravity expands the forbidden region of the wave propagation. As the influence of the vertical self-gravity increases, the group velocities of the waves get smaller and the vertical nodes of the wave shrink to the middle plane of the disc.

Magnetorotational-type instability in Couette-Taylor flow of a viscoelastic polymer liquid

We describe an instability of viscoelastic Couette-Taylor flow that is directly analogous to the magnetorotational instability (MRI) in astrophysical magnetohydrodynamics, with polymer molecules playing the role of magnetic field lines. By determining the conditions required for the onset of instability and the properties of the preferred modes, we distinguish it from the centrifugal and elastic instabilities studied previously. Experimental demonstration and investigation should be much easier for the viscoelastic instability than for the MRI in a liquid metal. The analogy holds with the case of a predominantly toroidal magnetic field such as is expected in an accretion disk, and it may be possible to access a turbulent regime in which many modes are unstable.     

A Multi-parameter Model for Radio Dichotomy of Active Galactic Nuclei and Jets

Based on the coexistence of the Blandford-Znajek and magnetic coupling processes in black hole (BH) accretion disc, a multi-parameter model for jet powers and radio loudness of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is studied. It turns out that radio-loudness of AGNs could be governed by five parameters: (i) the BH spin, (ii) a power-law index of the variation of the magnetic field on the disc; (iii) a parameter determining the position of the inner edge of the disc, (iv) the ratio of the pressure of the magnetic field on the horizon to the ram pressure of the innermost parts of an accretion flow, and (v) the ratio of the angular velocity of the open field lines to that of the horizon. The observed dichotomy between radio-loud and radio-quiet AGNs is well interpreted by the effects of the above parameters. Furthermore, we discuss the derivative of radio loudness of AGNs with respect to each parameter separately. In addition, the effect of the screw instability on radio loudness of AGNs is discussed.     

Correlations of Active Galactic Nuclei with Microquasars

Correlations of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with microquasars are discussed based on the coexistence of the Blandford-Znajek (BZ) and magnetic coupling (MC) processes (CEBZMC) in black hole (BH) accretion disk.The proportions of several quantities of BH systems for both AGNs and microquasars are derived by combining the observational data with CEBZMC. It is shown that the square of the magnetic field at the BH horizon is inversely proportional to the BH mass, while the accretion rate of the disk is proportional to the BH mass. In addition, the very steep emissivity indexes from the recent XMM-Newton observations of the nearby bright Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG-6-30-15 and the microquasars XTE J1650-500 are well fitted by considering the MC effects on the disk radiation. These results suggest strongly the correlations of A GNs with microquasars.

Temporal study of GRS 1915+105 with rms-flux relation: The importance of magnetic activities in the corona

The rms-flux relations for some observations of GRS 1915+105 are studied. The rms-flux relations of the light curves in only one state, state C or state A, can be described by the simple non-linear model provided Zhang; we thus interpret that such a linear relation reflects the relative importance of magnetic instability for X-ray emission in the corona of the system, compared to the thermal viscous instability for the X-ray emission in the accretion disk. The rms-flux relations for state B are very scattered, possibly because of the dominance of thermal viscous instability for the X-ray emission in the accretion disk. The complex rms-flux relations for the observations of transitions between two or three states are caused by the combination of the different rms-flux relations of these states. The underlying physical processes are the combination of magnetic topology in the corona and thermal viscous instability in the accretion disk.

Accretion onto a Kerr black hole in the presence of a dipole magnetic field

We analyze the accretion of charged matter onto a rotating black hole immersed in an aligned dipolar magnetic field. We specialize to motion in the equatorial plane and calculate the ‘Keplerian’ angular momentum distribution, the marginally stable and marginally bound orbits, and the efficiency of mass-to-energy conversion as functions of the angular momentum of the black hole and of the product of the dipole moment and the charge of the infalling matter. Although the detailed results are quite different from those previously obtained in the case of an uniform magnetic field, the astrophysically relevant results are very similar; when hydrodynamical accretion is considered, these effects of the magnetic field are always very small. But for test particles the efficiency can be significantly increased for limited ranges of the parameters.     

Magnetic field buoyancy in accretion disks of young stars

Buoyancy of the fossil magnetic field in the accretion disks of young stars is investigated. It is assumed that the Parker instability leads to the formation of slender flux tubes of toroidal magnetic field in the regions of effective magnetic field generation. Stationary solution of the induction equation is written in the form in which the buoyancy is treated as the additional mechanism of the magnetic flux escape. We calculate the fossil magnetic field intensity in the accretion disks of young T Tauri stars for the cases when radius of the magnetic flux tubes a _mft = 0.1H,0.5H or 1H, where H is the accretion disk height scale. Calculations show that the buoyancy limits toroidal magnetic field growth, so that its strength is comparable with the vertical magnetic field strength for the case a _mft = 0.1H.

Circular geodesics and accretion disk in the spacetime of a black hole including global monopole

We study circular time-like geodesics in the spacetime of a black hole including global monopole. We show that when the range of parameter changed the properties of the circular geodesics and the radiation of accretion disks are different. It follows that the properties of the accretion disk around black hole including global monopole can be different from that of a disk around Schwarzschild black hole.     

Stability of an Isothermal Disk with Three-Dimensional Magnetic Fields and Radial Viscous Force

The stability of an isothermal thin disk with three-dimensional magnetic fields and radial viscous force is examined in this paper. We find that the radial viscous force has no influence on the stability of viscous modes. But there is more influence on the stability of magneto-acoustic modes, which is related to the perturbation wavelength and different parts of disk. Finally, we use our model to explain the long-term variability of Quasar 3C345.     

Two Mechanisms for Extracting Energy and Angular Momentum from a Rotating Black Hole

Two mechanisms of extracting energy and angular momentum from a rotating black hole, the Blandford-Znajek (BZ) process and magnetic coupling (MC) of a rotating black hole (BH) with the surrounding accretion disk, are discussed in detail by using a modified equivalent circuit. We obtain the same value for the BZ power as given by Lee. The strength of the power and torque produced by the rotating BH in the BZ process are compared with those in MC process. In addition, entropy production on the BH horizon due to the BZ process and that due to MC process are compared and discussed also by using the modified equivalent circuit.     

X-ray emission from non-Keplerian magnetically dominated accretion disks

Summary Most accretion disk models do assume Keplerian rotation as the ?natural? one. This is not so obvious and is somewhat aprioristic, as shown by some attempts to follow different approaches. In the present work we suggest a new approach to the problem, pointing out that the disk structure is deeply related to the balance between the magnetic energy produced by dynamo action and the rotational energy associated with the accreting flow. This balance, together with the conservation laws, allows us to derive analytically the angular-velocity field, the radial velocity field and the magnetic-energy distribution inside the disk. As far as the disk X-ray emission is concerned, we adopt the point of view that the buoyancy and emergence at the disk surface of the azimuthal magnetic field generated by differential rotation gives rise to looplike structures in a hot magnetically confined corona, which is not merely overimposed, as in other models, but ?naturally? fits to the disk structure. The magnetic-energy dissipation into the coronal medium, which sustains the X-ray luminosity, is due to twisting of the magnetic loops. we give an exact analytical expression for the integrated luminosityL _x in terms of the mass of the compact object, the accretion rate, the disk size and rotational velocity, and show that in the limitr _i≪r _e (wherer _i andr _e are the inner and the outer radius of the accretion disk, respectively) it agrees fairly well with the characteristic observed values of both galactic and extragalactic strong compact sources, within the reasonable range commonly accepted for the relevant parameters.

Stabilization effect of Weibel modes due to inverse bremsstrahlung absorption in laser fusion plasma using Krook collisions model

In this work, the Weibel instability due to inverse bremsstrahlung absorption in laser fusion plasma has been investigated. The stabilization effect due to the coupling of the self-generated magnetic field by Weibel instability with the laser wave field is explicitly showed. The main result obtained in this work is that the inclusion of self-generated magnetic field due to Weibel instability to the inverse bremsstrahlung absorption causes a stabilizing effect of excited Weibel modes. We found a decrease in the spectral range of Weibel unstable modes. This decrease is accompanied by a reduction of two orders in the growth rate of instability or even stabilization of these modes. It has been shown that the previous analyses of the Weibel instability due to inverse bremsstrahlung have overestimated the values of the generated magnetic fields. Therefore, the generation of magnetic fields by the Weibel instability due to inverse bremsstrahlung should not affect the experiences of an inertial confinement fusion.     

Jeans instability of an inhomogeneous streaming dusty plasma

The dynamics of a self-gravitating unmagnetized, inhomogeneous, streaming dusty plasma is studied in the present work. The presence of the shear flow causes the coupling between gravitational and electrostatic forces. In the absence of self-gravity, the fluctuations in the plasma may grow at the expense of the density inhomogeneity and for certain wavelengths, such an unstable mode may dominate the usual streaming instability. However, in the presence of self-gravity, the plasma inhomogeneity causes an overlap between Jeans and streaming modes and collapse of the grain will continue at all wavelengths.
